Saskatoon Blades News Release


SASKATOON, SK - The Saskatoon Blades are pleased to announce the signing of 2005-born forward Rowan Calvert to a WHL Standard Player Agreement.

Calvert was selected by the Blades in the ninth round, 187th overall in the 2020 WHL Bantam Draft, and is the sixth player from the 2020 draft class to sign a WHL Standard Player Agreement with the organization.

"Rowan has put in the work to earn this. He had an excellent training camp and has had a very strong start to his season with the Moose Jaw U18 team," said Blades director of scouting Dan Tencer. "He's a highly competitive young man who leads by example with his work ethic on and off the ice."

In eight games as a rookie with his hometown Moose Jaw U18 squad, Calvert has three goals and seven assists for 10 points, placing him second in team scoring. The 5-foot-9, 181-pound forward is currently tied for third in SMAAAHL rookie scoring, and has collected multi-point efforts in three of seven contests.

"Rowan's game has a lot of substance - he wins his battles, makes smart plays with the puck and goes hard to the areas that matter most for offence and defence," added Tencer. "He's a very well-rounded player and we're very happy to have Rowan as part of our future."

The Saskatoon Blades would like to welcome Rowan and the Calvert family into the community and organization, and look forward to helping continue his development under the guidance of Brennan Sonne's coaching staff.
